84/100Excellent
SHOULD YOU FISH TODAY?

Today and tomorrow look broadly similar

Today is 84/100 and tomorrow is 86/100. The difference is too small to justify postponing solely because of the forecast. The tomorrow comparison changes forecast weather while carrying forward the latest measured water context, so recheck the gauge or tide before leaving.

River flow286 cfs

Current streamflow is 286 cfs. Flow is rising by about 2% over 24 hours.

Wind5 mph

Wind should be relatively manageable for most fishing logistics.

What we still don't know
  • No authoritative species evidence is attached yet, so this page deliberately does not recommend specific fish species.
  • No qualified multi-year monthly flow baseline is available yet, so the current flow cannot be labeled high or low for the season.

Future scores primarily reflect forecast weather while using today's water conditions as the baseline. Recheck before the trip because river flow, tides and water temperature can change.

SPECIES INTELLIGENCE

Confirmed fish targets

No authoritative species occurrence evidence is attached to this water yet, so the site deliberately does not recommend trout, bass or any other target merely because the temperature looks compatible.

Species recommendations require stored authoritative/editor-confirmed occurrence evidence. Broad temperature compatibility is not enough.

GEAR FOR THESE CONDITIONS

TRANSPARENCY

What this score means

This is a planning score based on measurable conditions. It is not a bite forecast and cannot guarantee catches. Missing facts are left unavailable rather than invented.
